Edward Cabrera Activated, Starts Today for Cubs vs. Cardinals
Chicago brings back the right-hander after a left hamstring strain sidelined him since June 24, with three strong rehab outings paving the way.
The Cubs have activated Edward Cabrera from the 15-day IL and slotted him into today's start against St. Louis. Cabrera missed nearly eight weeks with a left hamstring strain, his second IL stint of the season after an earlier absence for a finger blister. He posted encouraging numbers in three rehab starts, including 11 strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings at Triple-A. His return pushes David Peterson to the bullpen.
